As for the trailer, we have a Portuguese-subtitled version. Watch it while it lasts. [UPDATE: Video replaced with official version] It turns out, the trailer starts out as mostly tracking shots, with Jesse Eisenberg and others in voiceover saying ominous things like, “We as a population on this planet have been looking for a savior” and “We’re talking about a being whose very existence challenges our own sense of priority in the universe.” That second statement sounded like it was voiced by Neil deGrasse Tyson. Also, it’s very clearly Eisenberg’s voice saying, “Devils don’t come from hell beneath us; they come from the sky.”

Then we hear a bunch of guys chanting “go home” and there’s a statue of Superman graffitied with “False God”. Let it never be said that Zack Snyder is subtle.

All of that is forgiven when we get to the part where Bruce and Clark have their staredown and Bruce asks him if he bleeds:

After watching the trailer a few times, I think it served its purpose. It’s just one of many trailers to come and they wanted to show Batman v Superman. So, we got the staredown. I think it has potential, which is funny because last night I based it in this thread further down.

Convincing myself of that very thing (overdone color timing doesn’t necessarily ruin the movie) is about the only compromise I’ve made so far in watching new movies. John Wick doesn’t have a single shot with a natural color palette, but I’ll be goddamned if that wasn’t one of the best action movies of the year.

I don’t like comic book movies, but the Watchmen, V for Vendetta, TDK and The Crow were exceptions, as they weren’t corny and melodramatic like most, if not all, of Marvels’. This seems to be another exception.

I’m in. Well, I was already in. I am now further in. Affleck’s voice is interesting. Wonder if that is just his Dark Knight Returns mecha Batsuit voice of if that’s what it’ll be while he’s Batman in general. I’m thinking it’s the former.

I used to be against bullying nerds in school. Now I see the blowback from that decision and am ashamed of thinking the bullies were villains. Of course, they were heros who just saw early what the future would bring.

Why the fuck is everyone so negative about this? I mean holy fuck, its a one minute trailer, and seems pretty decent from a set up point of view… sometimes all you people want to do is bitch and bitch about everything, and anything.

Well, I do still want to see it. I will see anything with Superman or Captain America in it, and that’s just how I roll. I’m just really really sick of the way these last few DC films are shot in underlit blue/black and littered with smell the fart acting.

Or heat vision him from a mile away, or slam into him at mach 3, or blow him away with super breath, or deal with him in any of the other 9000 trillion ways Nick Cage’s son could deal with a psychopath in a rubber suit.

The problem is, Superman doesn’t want to do any of those things. So none of them are options. You could kick the shit out of a baby, right? But give that stupid baby a billion deadly gadgets and make him hate you, and now let’s see what’s up.

Yeah, Superman can do all those things, but he’s a huge pussy. Hence the nickname “boy scout”. It’s why he screamed and cried after snapping Zod’s neck. The dude had no qualms about killing families and Superman STILL hesitated, you think he’s gonna knock Batman, a guy who’s heart is in the right place, into the sun? Fuck naw, that’s why Batman has the upperhand

There are 2 camps of comic fans for this movie, those who are going to see it and fucking liars who are going to see it while swearing they won’t. Its Batman and Superman in the same goddamned movie, its the movie every DC fan has been hoping to see since they read their first comic. Good or bad, they will see it.

And the third group, normal people looking for a good time. You know, the kind of people who don’t care that Batman’s suit looks like a cross between 3rd era Disorder and the New Generation-who gives a fuck.

Jeez does DC have a lot to learn. This is a crappy quality, poorly written and produced trailer. Meanwhile Avengers and Star Wars are delivering top notch teasers. This is sad. They should give it back to Tim Burton or beg Christopher Nolan to consult.

Take my money, DC. I’m sick of the Marvel overload. We really don’t need 30 new Marvel movies and 15 TV shows (Daredevil gets a pass). Also, anything with RDJ’s smarm on it takes me right out of the movie. DC movies like this are a change of pace, if nothing else.

This looks like I’m gonna fall asleep mid-movie. Sure, I’ll be there opening day cause it’s fucking Supes vs Bats buuuuuuuut I really don’t have any faith in anyone involved with this movie being able to deliver something that won’t disappoint me. I really wanted to like MoS, I really, really tried, but it’s fucking impossible.

I get that Batman’s not exactly the trusting type, but I’m tired of superheroes constantly mistrusting, betraying, and attacking each other. Even the Avengers seem to constantly do that. It would be fun to have a superhero movie where the characters actually like and respect each other and just have fun adventures with their equally awesome friends.

The closest example I can think of is Falcon and Captain America instantly getting along in the Winter Soldier.

You’re right about Batman, he is not the trusting type. But that is a central part of his character. I like that this will be a main theme in the movie. I also think that society’s mistrust about Superman was one of the better elements of The Man of Steel and I’m glad to see that they’re embellishing on that in this movie. Critics of the movie complained about the fact that his fight basically destroyed an entire city. It seems like their acknowledging that heavily in this movie which is what they should be doing.

To be honest, this doesn’t seem much different from what happened in the Avengers and all of the films that followed it.
